Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
שׁ֭וֹט יָמִ֣ית פִּתְאֹ֑ם
scourge brings_~_death sudden
Job is speaking of the disasters that people experience in life as if they were literally a scourge or whip that was punishing them. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “disasters suddenly kill people”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
לְמַסַּ֖ת נְקִיִּ֣ם
at,despair innocent
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of despair, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “innocent people when they despair”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
נְקִיִּ֣ם
innocent
Job is using the adjective innocent as a noun to mean a certain group of people. The ULT adds the word ones to show this. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “people who are innocent”
9:1-35 Job responded to Bildad by describing God’s cosmic and judicial power. His speech sounds like a complicated legal case, with a summons and response (9:3, 14-16, 19b, 32), the possibility of self-incrimination (9:20), an arbiter (9:33-34), an accusatory question (9:12), a legal sentence (9:22), and a declaration of guilt (9:28-30).
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
